personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
In February I try to only read books written by Black authors, for Black history month. However, I hadn't properly prepared this year and I ran out of books and since I don't live in a town that has a book store and I haven't joined the library in town yet (and then was sidelined … Continue reading What I Read in February
I was planning on including this in my January State of the Union post but it was all just becoming too long, so I may play it by ear each month, if I read a lot it gets it's own post, if I don't read a lot then maybe it may get put in the … Continue reading What I Read in December
So it turns out I wasn't in a reading rut, I was approaching burn out and exhaustion and all I needed was a good break and a few good nights sleep to want to and be able to read again. This is a gorgeous book and will be the start of my coffee table stack. … Continue reading What I Read in December
I am definitely still in a bit of a reading rut. I read just one book in September, nothing in October (to the point where I had a post planned for early November about being in a reading rut, but then I read a book in a day (a snow day) and I thought I … Continue reading What I Read in November

I also kind of think that I was trying to make myself read and … Continue reading What I Read in July

I think it was partly because I was trying to read (a really good) non-fiction book and I'm just slower at reading non-fiction (it took me 6 weeks to read Barack Obama's tome of a book). But I also just wasn't in any kind of mood to read, … Continue reading What I read in April
I hadn't thought that I had read that much in March, what with the new job and the big move and all. But I read 4 books! Only three are pictured in the stack because one was my parents and I obviously didn't want to take it with me. That's also why Louise Penny is … Continue reading What I read in March
I found it hard to get into a book last month. I have like 4 books started at the moment because I've been having a hard time committing. And TV is just so much easier, and I can needlepoint while I watch, when I read I need to only read. It's a lot easier to … Continue reading What I read in February
